Welcome to The Language House

We offer English courses in Geneva and around the world for everyone - senior managers, journalists, students and apprentices. English is our cup of tea. It’s our speciality and we’re here to help you.

The Language House adapts the content of the courses to our needs on a weekly basis. One week we work on presentations, another week we work on language for meetings. We can use the English from these lessons immediately in our daily work with our clients.

I really appreciated the English courses with The Language House and especially Garry, our teacher who was friendly, serious while also having a sense of humour. I am sure that my English is much better today thanks to lessons with The Language House.

I just wanted to let you know that I am starting today at P&G!! My two interviews in English went really well. Thank you so much for your great advice, these interviews were exactly on the same line as yours.

My English lessons with The Language House were interesting, fun and lively. I feel much more comfortable speaking English. If I have to socialise in English or moderate a forum in English, I don’t have the panic and stress I had before. I actually look forward to using my English.

English+ WORK

You won’t get rich, but you will earn a little bit of extra pocket money. But more importantly, a job in a café, restaurant, picking fruit on a farm or working as a demi-pair are all fabulous ways to exercise your English, make new friends and discover your city or country. Prepare a CV in English before you go…

The Language House likes

The amazing weather and great location. San Diego has a comfortable climate year-round. The temperature stays around 25.5°C in summer and just 15.5°C in the colder months. Sunny San Diego is minutes away from the beaches, mountains, desert, Los Angeles, Disneyland, and Mexico with easy weekend trips to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.
